And did you need to know how to backflip before wallflip

I landed a wallflip on my first try, though i could already backflip.

I do know someone who tried a wallflip and got it after a few tries and he couldnt backflip.
If you are going to do this do it on padding

you don't really need to be able to backflip before learning to wallflip...i've heard it can fuck up you backflip technique though if you learn wallflip before back. and the time it takes for each individual to learn a tricks varies greatly.

I could do Wallflip long before i could do Backflip.
I used to just run up the wall an turn back and it worked.
Its best to start learning on crash matts.

I cannot Wallflip yet.
Everytime I'm going for it I'm afraid that my head will smash against the wall, because I have done so many Backflips and I have learned to jump UP. In Wallflip you need to jump back a little so I'm a little scared.

Don't worry about that... you're from Finland, no one ever gets hurt there

Learn to gainer from a few steps

then do that close to a wall and your foot will probably push off, thats what i did

I learnt my wallflip in two attempts and i couldnt bf then at all.

Learning wallflip before bf does mess up your technique if you learn it before your bf because in my bf's now, i jump up (which is fine) but then lean a little bit too far back so i loose height and dont land it as good as i know i can.

I have landed much better ones when i actually jumped straight up :)

I got a wallflip my first try.They are very easy.

You dont need a backflip for a wallflip.I have a friend who actually learned backflips from off a wall but he cant do a normal backflip.

i wall flipped on my first try as well, and I could do a backflip. My friend couldn't do a backflip on the ground (he could on the tramp) and also did it on his first try. ( we had a wedge against the wall with a mat on the floor. No spotters, we just did it.)

I learned how to do a wall flip in my friend's basement when we were like in 3rd grade. We loved watching ninja things and crazy flips so we through some blankets down in his concrete floored basement and went for it. I didn't really have any concept of danger or consequences so I pretty much had no fear.

I didn't do it very often and over the years lost it. I'd like to get it back but I am deathly afraid of hitting off the wall. Since my standing backflips are pretty much having me landing in the same place I don't think I'll do it well enough. I don't really want to learn it that much anyway so It's not a big deal. Same with a backflip off a ledge. My friend can chuck them off any ledge, fire hydrant, pop machine, but he really whips himself back in all his backwards tricks.

backflips before wallflips are a good idea

I just learned them yesterday, they're really scary for the first try, but once you get past the first one they're easy as hell.
